Don’t be duped by The Donald – Trump is about to get paid as president

Dear misguided Trump supporters: You will be sorely disappointed only a few days, or maybe a few weeks or months, into the Trump presidency, once the euphoria wears off and you are forced to come to terms with reality.

Somebody’s getting paid in a Trump administration, and it won’t be you. As president, Trump will use his influence as the most powerful man in the world to benefit his business interests, which could put millions more in his pocket. If this man is able to make it work — and the circumstances do not suggest otherwise — he will make it happen. And what do you get? A tacky red cap that says “Make America Great Again.”

The president-elect is a walking conflict of interests who believes he can do anything and get away with it. And as the commander-in-chief, his corruption will be unlike anything we’ve seen.

Trump on his businesses/conflict q's: "The law's totally on my side, the president can't have a conflict of interest."

Paul Krugman, the Nobel prize-winning economist, sounded the alarm when he warned Americans to “stay alert.”

“We’re about to enter, or may already have entered, an era of corrupt governance unprecedented in U.S. history. What does it mean?” Krugman tweeted. The First Family may skim $10 billion off the top, which is relatively minor, he noted. “What matters much more is the distortion of policy in directions that can be monetized. Gratuitous private investors in infrastructure is just the start. Expect to see lots of privatization and a general shift from transparent to murky so that favors can be traded.”

And while democratic governments in Europe are barred from offering “de facto personal bribes to the U.S. president,” expect Russia and China to “send huge business to the profiteer-in-chief,” tilting American foreign policy towards authoritarian, tyrannical regimes, he said.

Meanwhile, Trump claimed he would hand off his businesses to his children in a blind trust, which he has not yet done. So, what does he do instead? Of course, blame the media:

Prior to the election it was well known that I have interests in properties all over the world.Only the crooked media makes this a big deal!

The Philippine president appointed as special trade envoy to the U.S. a man who is building Trump Tower Manila. In addition, when Trump recently met with British politician Nigel Farange, he urged the Brexit supporter to oppose offshore wind farms that would disturb the “pristine view” from one of his two golf courses in Scotland.

Yet, you knew this man was a con artist. We all knew Trump University was a scam and the money from Trump Foundation benefited Donald Trump.

Using his position as president to make that money, Trump will become the biggest pimp in the history of America. Because he’ll pimp you, the American people, in the process. Sadly, the only way he can get away with it is if he is a true dictator.
